Prime Sirloin Steak with Fries and a Rockit Apple [homemade]
Bro. Devs are getting cooked
I have joined in this company like two days ago. They just ask me to download Cursor or OpenCode and prompt. During the interview process they did tell me there are lot of bugs which are dragging the delivery dates. Now, I know why.
Sure, AI gets things done faster but the mess it creates is greater.
“Haste makes waste” can’t be true in this instance of my career.
[Homemade] Cowboy Ribeye: Smoke and Sear
Cooked up a cowboy ribeye this weekend and I’m pretty damn happy with how it turned out.
The steak was just over 2 lbs. I dry brined it overnight at about 1% salt, using Diamond kosher salt, and added a little MSG as well.
I went with a reverse sear, smoking it around 225°F for roughly 1 hour 45 minutes until it hit 115°F internal. I used cherry wood and a couple of bourbon barrel chunks for the smoke, which gave it a really nice color and flavor.
After pulling it from the smoker, I let it rest for about 15 minutes, then gave it a light spray of duck fat before putting it over a bed of screaming hot charcoal for the sear.
About 3 minutes over the coals, flipping every 30 seconds, it had the crust I was looking for. During the final rest I added a light dusting of chili powders and the carry-over brought it to right around 135F internal.
I think politicians are making the wrong argument for AI data centers
Every time this comes up the pitch seems to be “we need more data centers because China.”
Maybe. But if I lived next to one, China probably wouldn’t be the first thing I cared about. I’d care whether my electricity bill goes up, how much water it uses and whether my town actually gets anything out of it.
That’s why the Ohio project is interesting to me. The grid upgrades are supposed to be paid for by the project, they’re using a recirculating cooling setup, and there are actual local-job/community commitments attached.
That seems like a much better model.
If AI infrastructure is really this strategically important, the goal shouldn’t just be “build more data centers.”
It should be “build them so the people living beside them don’t hate them.”
Curious whether people here think that’s realistic.
I am building a Git GUI that shows you what is happening under the hood. 👀
You click an action → see the Git command → see what changed.
There’s also a Learning Mode for beginners with interactive practice and real Git scenarios.
Here’s a quick demo of what I’ve built so far 👇
This is just a quick demo, not the full app. I’ll be adding the rest of the Git commands and more features before the first release.
The project will be open source, and I’m hoping we can keep adding to it and turn it into a useful Git tool for everyone.
Still early, so I’d love to hear your feedback.
Microsoft is the perfect representation of “average”. And this is just what happens when things are average lol.
Within the last few months, Prime has been more and more AI positive while this sub has become more and more AI negative. No one even posts about prime. Is this even a primeagen sub anymore?
Several comments say they don’t even know who theprimeagen is.
Mods? Are we just gonna let this become another of the dozens of AI=bad slop factories? What’s even happening?

How many of you have played with breadboards and microcontrollers?
